Picked a Miele off of freecycle earlier, had lived in a landrover nut's barn for 8 years.

Opened it up and discovered a little mouse. The missus picked it up but it jumped free and legged it. Took the chewed bag out and...

We had no idea what to do with them tbh although they were cute. After letting Eva have a good look we jumped in the car and went to our local wildlife hospital place thing...

Where they got triaged and fed. They will be hand reared until their old enough to be released into the wild.

Anyone top that?

Not for me to say but she wasn't as skinny as it would have suggested. I Put the item in a brown envelope saying she might want it back. Her boyfriend who also came in insisted on opening the envelope. She was mortified. Then started to explain thy were worn when she did aerobics - boyfriend said she should not say anymore as making it worse

My apologies if this has been covered before, but I thought it might be worth mentioning what was found in a DC07 I gave my daughter a few weeks ago, and which was returned to me this week with the comment "it doesn't suck, and blows fluff out".

A quick inspection revealed a u-bend completely clogged with sweet wrappers, cotton buds, a plastic dinosaur, a pencil, a child's paintbrush and most of the family Labrador's coat. So far, so bad. The machine also wouldn't stand up, due to the usual problem with the changeover valve mechanism. Easily fixed. The hose and wand were totally blocked virtually from top to bottom with more bits of Labrador, a sticky sweet, and numerous wrappers, etc. Principal cause of the blockage - a bulb of garlic. I was, for a while, speechless. Anybody found anything odder than this? Daughter just shrugged her shoulders.........

On a couple occasions I have had dog cr-p been sucked up in a dc14 and a dc24 these where brought in when I was out on a service call, after a phone call they where collected next day by a very abusivefemale
